June was the lobster shell I dug by hand A haven that hid me well Beneath the sand
The wide, windy waves washed in But I stayed dry The grave breakers broke again As I nodded off inside
And then, when the empress ran aground And my eyes turned blue and green I heard a gorgeous sound And that's when it became a dream When the sky fell in When the hurricanes came for me I could finally crash again And that's how I became the sea
I wrenched the engines off And drank them down The depths turned the iron soft As they swiftly drowned
And I brought the oceanside To its rusty knees As I felt the even tide Deep in my shallow dreams
And then, when the empress ran aground And my eyes turned blue and green I heard a gorgeous sound And that's when it became a dream When the sky fell in When the hurricanes came for me I could finally crash again And that's how I became the sea
(When the sky fell in) When the sky fell in (When the sky fell in) When the hurricanes came for me I could finally crash again And that's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea) That's how I became the sea (How I became the sea) That's how I became the sea (How I became the sea) (How I became the sea) (How I became the sea) (How I became the sea) (How I became the sea) (How I became the sea) (When the sky fell in) (When the hurricanes came for me) (I could finally crash again) (And that's how I became the sea)
